Stewart was born March 29, 1978 the son of Richard G. and Charline E. (Braud) Mason in Norman, Oklahoma. He passed away unexpectedly on Monday, December 19, 2011 at his home.
Stew, as he was known by his family and friends, attended Norman Public Schools, graduating from Norman High School in 1996.

Stew served as a counselor for the Community After-School Program in Norman for many years. He had a passion working with young people and enjoyed shaping and mentoring young lives.
Stew was also active in many bands through out the years, playing the drums, more specifically being the percussionist. He was also an avid sports fan and enjoyed snowboarding when time permitted. Stew also spent time with his his step-dad, Roger Neufeldt, traveling to Sports Collectors Shows, viewing and searching for Sports Memorabilia.
Stew's best days were spent being a daddy to his little girl, Emily Claire. He was an awesome dad, laughing and sharing special moments with little Emily.
